From f87fb666bb00a7afcbd7992d236e42ac544996f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kasprzak Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 15:53:43 +0200 Subject: netfilter: nf_ct_icmp: keep the ICMP ct entries longer Current conntrack code kills the ICMP conntrack entry as soon as the first reply is received. This is incorrect, as we then see only the first ICMP echo reply out of several possible duplicates as ESTABLISHED, while the rest will be INVALID. Also this unnecessarily increases the conntrackd traffic on H-A firewalls. Make all the ICMP conntrack entries (including the replied ones) last for the default of nf_conntrack_icmp{,v6}_timeout seconds.
